What this trial is testing
This study is testing Hydroxyurea (a drug), Alemtuzumab (a drug), Fludarabine (a drug) and Melphalan (a drug) as a possible treatment. Condition(s) listed: Primary Immunodeficiency (PID), Congenital Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes and Inherited Metabolic Disorders (IMD).
It is open-label: participants know what they are receiving.
Phase 2 studies test whether a treatment shows signs of working, and keep checking safety, in a larger group of people with the condition.
Who can join
- Ages 2 Months to 55
- Any sex
Some of the main requirements, copied from the record:
- Inclusion:
- A 4/6, 5/6 or 6/6 HLA matched related or unrelated UCB unit available that will deliver a pre-cryopreservation total nucleated cell dose of ≥ 3 x 10e7 cells/kg, or double unit grafts, each cord blood unit delivering at least 2 x 10e7…
- Adequate organ function as measured by:
Plus 61 more requirement(s). Only the trial team can confirm whether you qualify.
What's involved
- About 100 participants are expected to take part.
- Start date: 2014-02-04.
- Main results expected around 2026-11 (estimate from the record).
- 1 study site listed (1 marked recruiting) in United States.
Main thing being measured
- Post-transplant treatment-related mortality (TRM) (1 year post-transplant)
In the researchers’ words
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of using a reduced-intensity condition (RIC) regimen with umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT), double cord UCBT, matched unrelated donor (MUD) bone marrow transplant (BMT) or peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) in patients with non-malignant disorders that are amenable to treatment with hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). After transplant,…

Questions to ask your doctor and the trial team
- Am I likely to qualify, given my health history?
- What would I have to do, and how often would I need to visit?
- Could I get a placebo? What happens to my current treatment?
- What are the possible risks and benefits?
- Are travel or other costs covered?
- What happens after the trial ends?

Full eligibility criteria (from the record)
Inclusion:
1. A 4/6, 5/6 or 6/6 HLA matched related or unrelated UCB unit available that will deliver a pre-cryopreservation total nucleated cell dose of ≥ 3 x 10e7 cells/kg, or double unit grafts, each cord blood unit delivering at least 2 x 10e7 cells/kg OR an 8 of 8 or 7 of 8 HLA allele level matched unrelated donor bone marrow or peripheral blood progenitor graft.
2. Adequate organ function as measured by:
1. Creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL and creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min/1.73 m2.
2. Hepatic transaminases (ALT/AST) ≤ 4 x upper limit of normal (ULN).
3. Adequate cardiac function by echocardiogram or radionuclide scan (shortening fraction > 26% or ejection fraction > 40% or > 80% of normal value for age).
4. Pulmonary evaluation testing demonstrating CVC or FEV1/FVC of ≥ 50% of predicted for age and/or resting pulse oximeter ≥ 92% on room air or clearance by the pediatric or adult pulmonologist.
